Show Your Places (SYP) is a web CMS whose goal is to manage a pictures or photos collection with geographic location. The website shows a map with markers matching picture locations. When selecting a marker, visitors can see image and its description. Requirements ------------ - php5 - mysql extension for php - mysql must support spatial extension; mysql version must be >= 4.1 for MyISAM tables or >= 5.0.16 for other tables. I assumed it would not be a problem. If that's a problem for you, send me a mail, and I'll do without spatial support. Installation ------------ * manual configuration - edit `inc/settings.php.in` and copy it to `inc/settings.php` - upload syp to your webserver - open http://yoururl.com/install.php with your web browser to finalize installation (database tables creation). * automatic configuration - upload syp to your webserver - open http://yoururl.com/install.php with your web browser and follow instructions. For automatic configuration to work, `inc/` directory needs to be writeable. Use `chmod` to set the appropriate directory permissions. If in doubt, `chmod` to `0777`. Alternatively, you can use manual method. Some advanced configuration options are not available with automatic method. If you need to set those options, use manual configuration. Upgrade ------------ - make a copy of `inc/settings.php` - make a copy of `upload/` (or directory where your photos and thumbnails are stored). - delete old version of syp from your server - upload new version - edit `inc/settings.php` again (copy old version of file may not be enough because new settings may have appeared) - copy `upload/` back. - open http://yoururl.com/upgrade.php with your web browser co-administrators ----------------- It is possible to allow other people to upload and manage pictures/descriptions. In admin interface, select "Add an co-administrator" and fill informations (user name and password). Then, you need to communicate to your user its username and password. He/She will be able to modify this password afterward. Only admin can add new users. Other co-administrators will be able to add markers, and delete/modifiy them. They cannot modify markers they have not created. admin is the only user allowed to manage markers of other users. If you plan to have several co-administrators, you may want to create a normal user for yourself, and use it to manage your markers. You will then only use admin account when really needed. Currently, SYP does not allow server API ---------- Client/server communication follows an API. This allow for example creation of scripts to automate some tasks. [API description] [1] is mainly aimed at developers and inquiring people. You should not need it if you just want to install syp on your website.
